1. Since the drought struck me, the people of Sajistan
Have turned to evil in their religion and changed

2. Two hundred thousand of them, with no sense among them
No wisdom from a cunning schemer, even if they pondered

3. They lead an impostor to use him
To attack the friends of God whom they chose

4. A group who sided with Uthman, and among them
An eminent Imam who cleared the darkness so it lit up

5. The creation of Marwan whom he chose for us
With knowledge of who would kill and revive over us

6. Through him God gave life to the mosques and ceased
The devil of hypocrisy from the people so he was banished

7. Even if they marched with the two sons of Shamam both
And the Syrians from Salma to the Sarah of Himyar

8. Against their religion, with India arraying their vanguards
And the Romans in their land, the Romans of Caesar

9. To the pledge of God which his servant chose
For it the son of Abu Al-Aasi, the Imam to be trusted

10. He would thwart those whose prophecy he gave their cunning
With more cunning than what they plotted and contrived

11. The rider at Zuby Buhda brought me narrations
Which straitened his chest when he told the tale

12. Events for Hajjaj where his wives were discarding
The children of what was conceived of them in secret

13. So I said, my mother as ransom for him when
War gored him, erecting its head when he prepared

14. He poisoned his two commanders until they lost heart
Against him, and quenched the commissioned thirsty one

15. He stabbed the son of Rizam with a mortal wound laid bare
And their protected one a fatal blow which oozed and dripped

16. The horse hands escaped and did not leave
Any horses depriving them of their pairs
